Philodendron 'Sun Red'

Philodendron Sun Red ❤️🌿 is loved for its glossy leaves that emerge in bright red to coppery tones before maturing into deeper green, giving it a bold tropical look with color that keeps changing as it grows. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the new growth stays most vibrant and the plant keeps a full upright shape on a shelf, stand, or in a bright corner. This is a generally easy plant that handles average indoor care well, as long as it is not left sitting in soggy soil. Pro tip: if the new leaves start looking smaller or less colorful, move it a little closer to brighter light and let the top layer of soil dry before watering again 💧.
